No longer available at zZounds
Auto-EQ your room with the measurement mic. Suppress feedback and limit peaks. Extend bass response with the subharmonic synth. The DriveRack PX does it all!

Ensure that your powered speakers enjoy peak performance with the dbx DriveRack PX Powered Speaker Optimizer. The DriveRack PX features Auto-EQ, Feedback Suppression, and a host of other useful tools that will improve sound quality and protect your powered speakers in any live sound application.

Improve Powered Speaker Performance

The DriveRack PX boasts much of the same renowned technology found in other DriveRacks, but tailored specifically for use with powered speakers. The emphasis is on cleaning up speakers' sound and helping them use power more efficiently, thereby allowing for higher volume levels. Included preset programs cover most major speaker brands.

All The Essential Ins and Outs

On the back of the DriveRack PX are two XLR inputs with a +4db/-10db attenuator switch to handle different input levels. There are also Stereo Main and Sub XLR Outputs. Finally, you can plug the included dbx M2 Measurement mic into an XLR input on the front of the PX.

Includes Vaunted dbx Processing and Controls

Perfect your powered speakers' sound with the DriveRack PX's Dual 28-band Graphic EQ. If you need to adjust a signal's dynamic range, you can utilize the on-board Classic dbx Compressor.

Auto-EQ Instantly Senses the Nuances of a Room

Using the included dbx M2 Measurement Mic, the DriveRack PX adjusts a signal's equalization settings to correct for deficiencies in a room. For instance, if your speakers are in spaces that tend to attenuate out higher frequencies, the DriveRack read more PX will automatically compensate for this by boosting the highs in the signal.

Subharmonic Synth Adds Low-End Oomph

Another piece of dbx proprietary technology included with the DriveRack PX is the Subharmonic Synthesizer, which adds additional bass response to your speakers. The Subharmonic Synth is great for enhancing subwoofer performance, and can also help compensate in set-ups that lack a subwoofer.

Protection from Feedback, Prevention of Noise

Thanks to the PX's patented Advanced Feedback Suppression (AFS) system, annoying feedback will never find its way to your powered speakers. And its PeakPlus limiting technology prevents sound levels from ever reaching speaker- or hearing-damaging levels.

Easy to Use, Instant Results

If you're running live sound, you can't afford to skimp on sound quality. The dbx DriveRack PX is easy to set up and will improve powered speaker performance immediately. It's as simple as using the Setup, Auto-EQ, and AFS Wizards to get going, and then choosing a preset that aligns to your speakers. After those few simple steps comes the best part: enjoying great sound!

Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I bought the DriveRack PX for my powered speakers to simplify my set up. It has done just that. I was already familiar with DBX since i have the DriveRack 260 and PA for my passive system. No need for extra crossovers, EQs, compressor/limiters, feedback control or real time analyzers taking up rack space. This unit does it all. With the included mic you can set up your system to any room's acoustics in a matter of minutes. For a Mobile DJ or Band this very useful and important. Great job DBX and Zzounds. I ordered the DriveRack PX 7/25/11 and got it 7/26/11. Just awesome!
